• Keep - I don't play chess, or even know how to, but a simple check of the internet provides 16,400 or so hits on Google. I think this referenced interview, from the article page, Press Journalist of the Year, showing an interview after being voted Chess Journalist of 2007, provide sufficient notability to keep the article? Time out magazine (2003) has an article Game Over Kasparov and the Machine shows he featured as part of the cast in a documentary film with Gary Kasparov about the IBM Deep Blue chess computer games with Kasparov. Amazon.com features a 240page hardcover book co-written by Greengard and Kasparov:- How Life Imitates Chess: Making the Right Moves, from the Board to the Boardroom, Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing PLC (2 Oct 2007), Language English, ISBN-10: 1596913878, ISBN-13: 978-1596913875. There is a reference to him on WordPress.com These also provide the requirement of reputable mainstream media. The fact that Mig Greengard is the english editor of the magazine The Other Russia to my mind also makes him as notable as the Key people referred to in the article, who also have wiki articles on them, such as Viktor Gerashchenko. Additionally this item:- Google Groups - Rescuing Mig Greengard I found on Google worries me. It seems to indicate SyG is making attempts to delete other biographies of Chess personalities from wikipedia, so I do wonder if there is an ulterior motive here; though, just to make it absolutely clear, I am not saying there is.
